Question

A small rectangular piece of dimensions 3cm X 2cm was cut from a big

rectangular paper of dimensions 6cm X 5cm. Find the ratios of the areas of

the two rectangles.​

Answer 1

First we have to calculate the area of rectangular piece = length × breadth = 2 cm × 3 cm = 6 cm2 So, area of sheet of paper of dimensions 6 cm × 5 cm = 30 cm2 Then, Area of remaining sheet of paper is = 30 cm – 6 cm

A small rectangular piece of dimensions 3cm X 2cm was cut from a big rectangular paper of dimensions 6cm X 5cm. Find the ratios of the areas of the two rectangles.

${ \underline{\underline{ \green{ \bf{Required \: answer:}}}}}$

Given, Area of bigger rectangle =(6×5)cm=30cm²

Area of smaller rectangle =(3×2)cm=6cm²

Therefore, area of remaining sheet of paper=Area of bigger rectangle − Area of smaller rectangle

=(30−6)=24cm² Ans
